Mike Ash recently complained about the
restrictions on the Cocoa-Dev Mailing list. There are also many things people would like to discuss that Apple just doesn't allow (as part of their policy) on their mailing lists.
So Brent Simmons created the
Cocoa Unbound mailing list where developers can discuss items that Apple doesn't allow on their mailing lists. Go & join up and have happy sane un(Apple)moderated discussions.
